Crankbrothers Highline Dropper Seatpost - First Ride
A fair comment, but is that going to get in the way of my colour-coordinating my components? Hell no! ;)

Crankbrothers Highline Dropper Seatpost - First Ride
To give CB due credit, while my first Kronolog duly failed after 10 days, the replacement worked fine (apart from getting a bit sticky after a week in the desert, fixed by a good cleaning), and I now have Kronologs on 3 of my 4 bikes (the other is a Joplin 4), just looking for a good price to make that 4/4.
I did try other brands, but they each had their own issues.
But no denying CB'siffy track record; I guess it's a hidden cost of pimping up your bike.
My favourite CB design disaster is still their delaminating crankset, and the new multi-tools are hit & miss -- B-Series impossible to use in most situations, but the Y series works really nicely for me.

As a Canadian who frequently goes cycling in Western Europe and the US, I've noticed all parts cost 30-50% more over there compared to the US, so given current exchange rate, that's a very reasonable convversion.
